The Remington Steele Agency finds itself in a chase, that keeps growing, after a special cookie. The chase includes rising star Geena Davis.
Though Stephanie Zimbalist, co-author of the script, said she was inspired by "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World," it has more than a touch of Alec Guinness' "Man in a White Suit," where he invented a cloth that never wears out, and both labor and management wanted it suppressed.
Possibly for time, more likely because to Hollywood types businesses are the face of evil and labor can do no wrong (though they make a big deal out of blacklisting, try getting an acting job in the movies without a SAG card), they put the words of labor in that movie in the mouths of management and combine the two.
I despise the Hollywood take of businesses but unlike the left I can appreciate a good laugh with people whose politics I think are destroying the world, if they've produced something good. I'M open-minded.
Though it has its serious moments (as when a tennis star gets a fat lip . . . Even when a woman writes an episode I don't like seeing females knocked about) the last twenty minutes are pure farce, including a marching band rehearsal (I was in a marching band, btw, in high school and we never rehearsed in a gym in our lives; it looks cramped in there).
Lots of good, wholesome silliness. One of my top ten episodes.
